Allow me to introduce...Middy! Middy (short for 'Midnight') is a beautiful, 7month old, allblack cat which I recently adopted. It became obvious very early on that Middy was not your typical black cat. He showcased strange behaviors and unusual features which made myself, neighbors, and friends wonder. Middy follows me everywhere I go, fetches items like a dog, talks back, is very vocal and interactive, and has big bright gold eyes which suggest to you that he knows more than you think he does. He is very active, loyal, trusting, and extremely well tempered. Most notable of his physical features is his short hair which has the sheen of leather and is as soft as velvet. He is all black and quite muscular and agile.

We're all but positive he's a Bombay as these many characteristics fit this particular breed of cat to a T. Bombays are rare. There are 18 different breeds of cats which may be black and Bombay is just one of them. I would highly recommend the Bombay as a pet but only if you are willing to give it LOTS of attention (they demand it).
